$5 a gallon... it's a good thing our cars don't run on milk! 
Well, then I guess I'll just have to put Kahlua in my coffee instead, it's cheaper 
LOL, now that's a great idea

I kept thinking about that when I was reading this thread, but I couldn't remember where I had seen it...
I'm just happy I drive a toyota now, that's the only thing that makes me not miss my mustang. I think I only fill up twice a month now.

I had to have my live oak trees treated because others around it were getting oak wilt. This nonguaranteed treatment consisted of infusing the tree with something the manufacturer calls "Alamo." Alamo costs $1,000 a gallon. Thankfully, all I needed was a quart. They don't have to worry, I will always "Remember the Alamo."

Beagles, did you ever mention which part of Wisconsin you're in? I'm just curious. I lived in Dodgeville for a short time when I was a kid....LOVED IT!! And that would be a WONDERFUL place for a nice relaxing ride, that's for sure. I'll definitely get there one of these days. The Black Hills or Rocky Mountains top my list, though.
I am in Tomah now but born and raised in Superior. Been for a ride or 2 in my day but..sorry.. always on a Harley.
I'll jump in a little late here (it was nice having a few days off) - I'm in SE Wisconsin, lived in Dodgeville for a while after college, and loved it! That's a beautiful part of the state. My dad lived in Coon Valley for quite awhile, so I've spent time in the Tomah area, which is also a very nice.
